Wayne Crosby and Robby Walker join us today to share the tale of how they created Zenter, the latest Google acquisition. Wayne and Robby left Arizona to do the Y Combinator startup program in Mountain View, CA and six months later they find themselves sitting in the Google headquarters in Mountain View as the latest addition to the family of Google applications. Zenter (which has since been taken offline following the acquisition but a screenshot can be found here) is the product of rethinking what a presentation tool can be beyond Powerpoint by incorporating collaborative capabilities afforded by having it online. Robby and Wayne (respectively in the photo) take us from day one of packing a Honda Civic full of their worldly possessions and making the road trip to Mountain View, through 12-hr coding sessions broken only by a tennis match all the way to the acquisition. The “innoview” referenced in the podcast can be found here.
